Syrian cultivar exhibited the highest plant<br />
fresh weight (216 g), weight of mature pods per<br />
plant (91.33 g), weight of pod integument (8.05<br />
g.plant -1 ), and therefore, it significantly exceeded<br />
Babylon which gave the lowest plant fresh<br />
weight (131.22 g), and mature pod weight per<br />
plant (43.33 g). Syrian was also superior on<br />
Taka357 in pod dry weight per plant (27.93g),<br />
and dry seed yield (20.56 g.plant -1 ). Aquadulce<br />
highly exceeded Babylon in plant fresh weight,<br />
weight of mature pods per plant, weight of dry<br />
pods, yield of dry seeds by 35.7, 44, and 31.6%,<br />
respectively,(table, 5). It also hugely exceeded<br />
Taka357 in pod dry weight and yield of dry<br />
seeds by 32% and 37.8%, respectively. Similar<br />
results were found by Abdel (1982) He<br />
postulated that Newblackfly fababean cultivar is<br />
semi-conservatives cultivar, whereas Tiger and<br />
Blaze cultivars are conservatives and Bery<br />
cultivar was drought escapable. <strong>The</strong>y possess the<br />
capability compromising between CO2 entrance<br />
to mesophyll intercellular spaces and the exit of<br />
transpired vapour. Taka357 was categorized as<br />
drought escapee cultivar only for the production<br />
of green pod yield, but not for mature pod and<br />
dry seed yields. Babylon and <strong>Two</strong>waytha were<br />
categorized with conservative cultivars that they<br />
tightly close their stomata sustaining hydrated<br />
internal tissues concomitant with lack in<br />
mesophyll CO2 that profoundly reduces<br />
photosynthesis. Photosynthetic capacity (CO2<br />
assimilation rate for any given leaf intercellular<br />
CO2 concentration [ci]) and relative stomatal<br />
sensitivity to leaf-to-air vapor-pressure<br />
difference were unaffected by the ABA<br />
treatment (Franks and Farquhar 2001).<br />
Exogenous application of abscisic acid<br />
revealed no appreciable influences on growth<br />
responses of any of the investigated cultivars<br />
(table, 1). <strong>The</strong> reasonable interpretation of ABA<br />
ineffectiveness might be come from the<br />
following (1): <strong>The</strong> exogenous ABA presumably<br />
not demanded for permanent hormonal balance<br />
during juvenility and for further development of<br />
fababean, where a synchronization of growth<br />
(node generations) and pod development and<br />
seed performance. Accumulated ABA in leaves<br />
that were subjected to drought were mainly
